The aqueduct is showing more signs of weakness than I have ever seen before. I wonder... what will this place look like in ten years? In a hundred? Will it even remain at all? The Flow Generator tucked away inside is fragile... should it leak, I shudder to think of the consequences. It is hubris to think our monuments will last so long... the only thing we can truly affect is the present. My mind races with the tides. It may do me well to visit the shipyard just south of here.
